Alternative nut slot fix.

[TheBiggestJerk]

I think I’ve come up with a very viable alternative solution to using superglue and baking soda to repair Guitar nuts.
I found that mixing some ultra cheap eBay special Chinese dry lubricant, i.e. pulverized graphite, Bucky balls… and mixing it with Loctite gel superglue creates a very, very, very strong substance. It’s not brittle and apparently doesn’t crack, chip or flake, but it does in fact cut cleanly with a slot file… I tested piece of pre slotted scrap lumber on anvil with a 2# sledge hammer and it didn’t even budge. It mixes like clay and needs a while to cure.

This is killer. There is nothing worse than scrapping a nut with 5 perfect height, non-binding slots because one is just a micrometer too deep.

I have done the baking soda super glue thing in the past with mixed results.

This is a great idea!

I’m kind of intrigued by this chemistry. I’ll have to research it. I’m sure I’m not even the first to try it, but I think there could be some application.

Complementary banger!

Seems to work well.

A good fix is to, just use your other hand every now and then.

Agreed. I usually just use my wife’s hand.
